China, helped by a dubious penalty, tied New Zealand 2-2 in an entertaining women's World Cup Group A game on Monday and qualified for the next stage along with hosts Canada.

China ended the group stage on four points, one behind Canada, and tied with the Netherlands on the same goal difference. China secured second place because they scored one more goal than the Dutch.
